Profile: Guyer isn't regarded as particularly toolsy, but he has a "toolsy" profile, in that he's hit 27 homers and gone 46-for-55 on stolen-base attempts over 853 minor-league plate appearances the last two seasons. He also covers all three outfield spots, but how much playing time will he get? (Carson Cistulli)

Profile: 2012 was a lost year for Guyer, at least after he underwent season-ending surgery in May on his left, non-throwing, shoulder to repair a torn labrum. Entering his age-27 season, he’ll have to prove he’s fully recovered from the surgery to earn a job right away, as he still has options remaining. He’s hit for average in the minors and is a good defender with 15-20 homer power. The injury recovery may remove some of the pop but if all goes well he’ll see time as a reserve this season. (Erik Hahmann)

The Quick Opinion: Guyer could become a valuable bench bat for the Rays if his shoulder injury is behind him.

Profile: Brandon Guyer received his first taste of extended playing time at the big league level, appearing in 97 games at the age of 28. He may be hard pressed to see even half as many games in 2015 with the acquisition of Steven Souza Jr. (whom the Rays paid a steep price to obtain) and the development of defensive whiz Kevin Kiermaier. Guyer is at his best against left-handed pitching but, even if he were to see regular duty, the native of Pennsylvania doesn't project to hit for power, steal bases or get on base with any regularity -- so his value to fantasy owners would be limited at best. (Marc Hulet)

The Quick Opinion: Guyer doesn't really display skills that would be highly coveted by fantasy owners. With a number of higher-ceiling players ahead of him in Tampa Bay, don't look for him to be relevant in 2015 -- even in deep AL-only leagues.

Profile: The plan for Guyer -- a strong fielder and a decent hitter -- was to use him off the bench against lefties and occasionally spell the righties. The plan changed a little in 2015, when Guyer started hitting better against righties. While his offense against the same hand was not enough to make him a full-time starter in 2015, it was enough -- combined with his solid defense -- to find more reasons to get him in the game. He dominates lefties, and he runs the bases well. He might be the Rays' fourth outfielder, but his continued solid play is making him into more of a 3.5ish type outfielder. The only asset he possesses that would interest fantasy owners, though, is his career .338 on-base percentage. Guyer gets on base well, but does not hit with a lot of power or steal a lot of bases. And entering his age-30 season, it is hard to imagine that changing. (@BradleyWoodrum)

The Quick Opinion: Solid play has vaulted Guyer into a more prominent role with the Rays outfield rotation, but his value in traditional fantasy is still pretty limited given his production comes largely from doubles and OBP.

Profile: Brandon Guyer is not a prolific home run hitter (9 home runs in 2016), and wouldn’t ever be nicknamed “wheels” (13 stolen bases vs. 6 caught steals over last two seasons). He’s not going to deliver a ton of hits, either (.262 career batting average). But you know what Guyer is really really good at? Getting hit, as in getting hit by pitches. Since 2015, Guyer has been hit by 55 pitches (almost 20 more than the next player, Derek Dietrich). As a result (other than being sore), Guyer has a career .349 on base percentage, and set a career high .372 OBP in 2016 thanks to leaning into 31 of those 55 HBP’s. In other words, Guyer is relevant in OBP leagues, so don’t overlook the soon to be 31 year old. What else can Guyer do? He can hit left handed pitching, as his .437 weighted on-base average vs. LHP last year indicates. Guyer isn’t a five tool player, but he does a few very specific things very well, so if you play in a deep, daily league that happens reward those specific things, Brandon Guyer should a fun player to own yet again in 2017. (Trey Baughn)

The Quick Opinion: Brandon Guyer is basically a one trick pony (OBP) that should really only be relevant in daily leagues where you can platoon him vs. LHP. That said, if you can convince your league to adopt HBP’s as a new category, Guyer is a sneaky early round pick.
